[SOLVED] makepkg creates install path relative to current directory

mkingston · 2014-09-10 18:55:27

I'm packaging a pcsc driver, simply so that I can have pacman manage it. I've tried various things, but I simply cannot get makepkg to generate a package which will install to /usr/ instead of my home directory. build() and package() both work just fine; but I end up with a .pkg.tar.gz that installs to my home directory. Below are both my PKGBUILD files and the output of pacman -Qlp [my].pkg.tar.gz

pkgname=acsccid
pkgver=1.0.8
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Control library for ACS ACR38T"
arch=('x86_64')
url="http://www.acs.com.hk/en/driver/1/acr38t-d1-plug-in-sim-sized-card-reader/"
license=('LGPL')
depends=('pcsclite' 'libusb-compat' 'flex')
source=('http://www.acs.com.hk/download-driver-unified/6258/ACS-Unified-Driver-Lnx-Mac-108-P.zip')
md5sums=('0b235156a66f280a81f949b0c9bb3052') #generate with 'makepkg -g'

build() {
  cd "ACS-Unified-Driver-Lnx-Mac-108-P"
  tar xjf "$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2"
  cd "$pkgname-$pkgver/"
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
  make
}

package() {
  cd "ACS-Unified-Driver-Lnx-Mac-108-P/$pkgname-$pkgver"
  make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" usbdropdir="$pkgdir/lib/pcsc/drivers" install
}

Remove the $pkgdir from usbdropdir:

  make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" usbdropdir="/lib/pcsc/drivers" install

Or install the resulting package with pacman: pacman -U xxxx.pkg.tar.gz. This would be the recommended way, wouldn't it?

I doubt the package was installed any other way. Besides, it doesn't matter if you pacman -U, or extract the package onto your root filesystem manually, the package doesn't change.

I have clearly misunderstood makepkg here. That sorted it. Thanks a lot for your help.

I think you understand makepkg just fine. It's make that's causing you trouble. You were telling acsccid to install into

/home/xxx/projects/acr38t_driver_pkg/pkg/home/xxx/projects/acr38t_driver_pkg/pkg/acsccid/lib/pcsc/drivers/

which makepkg happily packaged for you.
